That was my list of things I took with me when we snuck out of the house. Drew decided to come with us because he didn’t want to go home. I didn’t understand why he wanted to come with us, but he did and I was kind of glad. We had to stop by his house for a couple of things he needed.

“Take a left” he said as I drove. Emily was asleep in the back.

“Is this it?” I asked. He replied with a yeah and rushed in. Emily woke up and asked if I liked him I didn’t answer because I honestly had no idea. I thought he was cute and super sweet but that’s not it. There’s something else about him that makes me wonder, do I like him? I turned up the music and me and Emily sang along with Jason Mraz and Travie McCoy Rough Water. When, Drew ran out of his house with a bloody nose and a bruise on his left jaw. I was scared, but he told me drive and not to look back. So I did as he told me.

Drew’s POV

We pulled up to my house more like a dog house compared to Jessica’s. I ran in and headed straight for my room. I grabbed my gym bag and backpack filled them both with shit I needed for school, some cloths and a couple bags of chips for Emily. I really like that child including her sister. They both just put a smile on my face and Jessica make me feel a certain way. I know I’m a guy and should be acting like this but I can’t help I think I might like, like her. After I was finished grabbing my toothbrush and paste I ran downstairs. I bumped into something and dropped everything. “Fuck” I whispered to myself. Then I looked up and my whole throat went dry it was my dad. What have I got myself into I thought. He pushed me on the ground and I hit my back against the stairs. Dang that sting like a bitch. He hit me square in the jaw twice. I got up and punched him three times in the stomach and once in the face. To be honest it felt good to hit him even though he’s my dad. I was too busy feeling proud of myself I didn’t see him coming towards me. “Where the fuck is you going” he screamed while punching me in the nose repeatedly. I got up didn’t answer I just took my stuff throw him out of my way and ran for it. I got in the car and told Jessica drive and don’t look back. She did as I told her and didn’t ask any questions I mentally thanked her for that.

Jessica’s POV

We pulled up to a hotel close to town but not able to find unless you knew about it. Let’s hope our parents didn’t find us, but we still have to go to school and stuff like that. Drew looked tired; he had Emily in his arms, we drove for about 2 hours to find this place. We had a one bedroom, but there was a bed built in the couch so there was an extra bed for Drew. I argued to let him use the bed but he insited that me and my sister take the better one. Hes too nice for that. We put everything down and changed into pj's. Emily didnt change she went straight to bed.

"Come here" I said as I grabbed his arm and pushed him towards the bathroom. I sat him on the toilet and grabbed the first aid kit from the top shelf.

"Stay still this is gonna sting" I said as I applied the cream. I wiped away the blood and cleaned the bruises around his jaw and eyes. Wow his eyes are beautiful they are a deep light brownish color. I put a bandaged on it and told him to look in the mirror. He had good face structure. Excuse me but I exam and observe a little too much. He was a good looking dude.

"Thx so much jess" he said. I liked the way he said my name and making it short. It describes me a bit better.

"Yeah anytime, but that doesnt mean get into more fights k" I wincked at him

"okay I hear ya" he said with a smile that made me smile my self.

"You hungry" Drew asked

I nodded. He smiled and pulled out a bunch of bags of chips. I could just marry him. I snached about seven bags of chips. And finished it quicker than I snached it. He stared at me for a while.

"Can I help you" I said in a nice way.

"No its just that one was for your sister she told me how much she loved Lays, I think she has an obbsestion." he said pointing to the bag in my hands with a giggle. I found his giggle really cute.

"So what you wanna do?" I asked

"Umm I dont know can I see your guitar?" he asked

"Yeah sure" I handed him it.

"I love music" I continued

"Me too" he agreed

I watched him play some cords and tried to figure out the song he was playing

"All my friends get together wishen I was there but im neverr living in a sunshine ooo but dreamin of a place called home

I wanna runn run awayy aye im dreamin of a place called home I can try but im stuck here today im dreamin of a place 3000 miles away it feels like its forever seems like yesterday we were running round town together this place just aint the same i miss this stormy weather im not okay 3000 miles away." he sang. Omfgg his voice god help me. He is incredibly talented.

"I love that song" I said after he was finished. He nodded and said,

"How long have you had this guitar?" he asked.

"My mom gave it to me when I was 12 and when she actually gived a fuck about me" I said.

"Hey she still does mabey shes just dealing with something bad right now." he said tring to comfort me.

"No shes been like this for god knows how long" I said.

"Well your not the only one with problems,  we will face it together" he said as he reached for my knee rubbing small circles around it.

"Thx and hey its okay if you dont want to answer this but....... What happened back there did your mom hit you that bad?" I said the last part pretty fast.

"No what the fuck my mom would never hurt me she died." he said the last part in a whisper.

"im soo sorry" I said giving him a hug. I never usually do that but it felt right.  He was takin back at first but hugged me back. I felt so safe in his arms. Like he was helping me instead of me helping him.

"My dad did this to me, but its okay I hurt him too." he said with a sigh.

"Its okay as you a said we will work on it together." I respond

"I think we should go to sleep" he said.

I agreed and walked to the room. I stoped at the door to my room where Emily was asleep and said "You have an amazing voice, you should sing more offten."

"Thx ill think about it" he said with a sexy smile. "Goodnight Jess" he said

"Goodnight Drew" I said and walked off to bed. I wonder how long we were gonna stay in this hotel. And will anyone find out. I went to sleep replaying everything that happened tonight. Drew came over, mom and I had a huge fight, Emily fainted, we ran away, Drew sang to me, and now we are stuck in this hotel and no one knows.
